Samsung to announce the Galaxy Note 4 on September 3rd, what should we expect?

Samsung just sent press invitation to their Unpacked 2014 Episode 2 event, which will take place on September 3rd. It’s highly likely that the Galaxy Note 4 will be announced during the event (they even say “note the date”). As always before a major Samsung launch, we heard several reports (rumors?) regarding this device. Last month SamMobile claimed to have exclusive info detailing a QHD (2560×1440) AMOLED panel. On the same day, the Korea Times reported that Samsung will actually unveil two Note 4 variants – on with a regular flat display, and another with a curved one.

According to the Korea Herald, Samsung decided to “play it safe” with its next year’s flagship phone and it will adopt the same basic design as in its current Galaxy S8 . The 2018 Galaxy S9 will use a 5.8″ Infinity curved Super AMOLED display (and the S9+ will use a 6.2″ display as used in the S8+). It is likely that even if this report is true, Samsung Display will use an enhanced display. Even though the display used in the GS8 was “the best mobile display ever” according to DisplayMate – there is still room for improvement, for example higher resolution (good for VR), better efficiency or a larger color gamut.

The report claims that Samsung will adopt a new OLED display in this device – which will achieve a pixel density of 2,000 PPI. Such a high pixel density will be great for VR as it will improve the realism and reduce sickness. Read more about Will Samsung's next-gen Gear VR headset include its own 2000 PPI OLED display?
